Billie in battle for café culture

Billie Piper and other stars are fighting a campaign to save Crouch End's café culture

The Doctor Who actress, 23, is among those supporting Spiazzo's coffee shop in Crouch End Broadway, threatened with legal action by Haringey council after putting out tables and chairs without a street trading licence.

Gregory's Girl star Clare Grogan, 44, a Crouch End resident, said: "It would be a real shame. There is plenty of room." Spiazzo's petition has drawn 1,400 signatories.
